Are you doing this because nobody wants to drive you to Toronto in march? :wink:

Read the book TYE, is not really optional. If you think reading sucks just try taking that test twice.

I am in for a beer!
I'm gonna drink it anyways, may as well be with a few of you guys. :D
This sounds like a GTG in the making..
So how about lining up a time, and a day. Some thing mutually feasible would be the best, I can be there anytime any day.

I recently went through the same dilemma, I always wish I had bought something bigger, the next size up. In this instance I bought the Exocet, and have not regretted it for one second.

The bow is only a couple months old, but now has shot well over 1000 arrows. This morning when I got up at sun rise I went out and started shooting, first shot was now off 2 inches again. (opposite way) Today alone I shot almost 200 arrows, the thing is fine tuned again at every yardage available in...

Dan, I will try loosening the caps and re tightening, it is certainly worth a try. I have been tapping the scope after each adjustment, you mentioned that a while back as a precaution and I have been doing it ever since.. I can feel when it makes a positive "click" and have developed a bit...

I never adjusted the speed ring, but would that even affect the 20 yard POI? Seems the whole scope uses the cross hairs as center and the other ranges change with adjustment. I don't know for sure, but that's the impression I was under.

It was a good suggestion TYE, and the first thing I checked, we posted at the same time. :D

The 5gr was after the fact, the most recent time the scope dropped down was prior to the added weight. I was practicing on a line of black tape and was spot on from 20 to 50 yards, then suddenly I was up 1.5 inches at 20, more exaggerated at longer distances. I took the cap off, made 3 clicks and an...

Is it possible my scope has an intermittent problem?

It seems every now and then I have to make a pretty serious adjustment to my Vari-Zone scope, a sudden 4 clicks to realign. 2 times I recall specifically noticing a sudden change in my 20 yard shot, once 1.5" and the second 2". I shoot the same weight of arrow all the time (except tonight,...

I have been shooting the carbons with brass inserts all along, I switched to brass for the weight, and thus a slightly quieter shot.. Today I bought the 2216's you are speaking of, there was no difference in accuracy with them, but I switched to a 4" vane instead of the 5" that come on the...

BigUgly, I read recently that guys were exchanging a little labor for property hunting rights, have you considered that option instead of trying to outbid the other hunters? I think a farmer would respect a offer of help far more that an offer of cash. Not to cut the throats of the other hunters, bu...

Thre would be the difference then, I am using an Exocet with the standard string..
